Am I seriously now being controlled by smile.jpg?
Haha. Fucking psychological shit, that's what it is. Now everytime I mention smile.jpg, or smile.dog, I'll be thinking it's controlling me and telling me to spread the word. Just like it's said to do on this site and article
People take it really seriously though. There are no articles nor images on wikipedia, everything's been deleted. Pretty much the same when Googled. There aren't even that many Photoshopped versions around; it's like Mr. L said in his article, it's somewhat a www-legend.
What's even more psychological about it, is that after reading the story about it, people will relate bad things that happen to them, to the image itself. THAT's why it's so effective. The stories and rumours you hear and read are also boosting the effect.
At the end of it, it is just an image. If you saw only the image and knew nothing more, that'd be just that. But the stories, then seeing the image, that's what fucks with people's heads.
... and now it's doing it to me too. Haha. Spread the word, smile.jpg loves you.

Ps. I wonder how long it'll be before this post gets wiped off the face of the www. Lmao.
